Peter Strait, born 1795 Belfast TWP, Bedford Co., PA; died Apr 1886 Douglas Twp., Adams County, Iowa, buried Baldwin Hill, Douglas Twp., Adams County, Iowa. He married Catherine Hummel Meyers in 1819 in Bedford County, Pennsylvania.
The list of their nine children that I have is:
Elizabeth, Barbara, Jacob, Samuel, Anna, John, Henry, Rachel, Mary E.
Peter came to Adams County, Iowa after his son Jacob establish a homestead. Peter came with son John, daughter Rachel, and son-in-law John (Curly) Strait. Curly lived with the family and was listed in the 1860 census with the family in Jackson Twp, Pickway County, Ohio, the two Johns caused enough confusion that they all called the son-in-law Curly. Peter and Catherine had nine children. There were two families living together in 1860 so some children listed may have been Curley and Rachel’s
Peter’s second wife was well documented as Martha Thomas, sister of Sarah J. Thomas; both daughters of Major Thomas of Washington Co. NY
